I personally use the Peak 900's seems all the batteries in the capacity rating have better voltage output over a race time run anyway.
Yes, I think so too. I bought these from Amazon so I guess if they don't reach the level of at least the eneloops, I'm going to return them and get me some Peaks next time... or more eneloops.

I've used the Atomic 800 and they are pretty good, comparable to Orion 900HV. My current battery of choice is the TRP rp747. It's similar to the 750SHO which were a favorite of mine for years. I've tried the Peak, GP, Duracell, eveready, energizer and no name NIMH batteries too.
I have a DIY track made with the foam tiles (18'x17' with Trackmate timing system). The cars work best with soft compound tires (foams and some PN carpet tires work), our preference has been the Atomic 10 degree for front and rear. There are a few tread patterns to choose from.
Thanks for the input, and nice track!
Huh, Atomic 10 degree, huh? Thanks. I ordered a couple of 5 and 8 degree from PN. Will see how these do on my track. My track is 31ft on the long end so I can hit full throttle on my MR03-S for it to reach its top speed with its 9teeth.
My track is still only about 3/4 done; At the end it will be 12ft x31ft. I need to get rid of some of my real car hobby parts and wheels first to make room.
I only got like 10ft right now on the short end, partially blocked by my storage shelves.
